up all his winter underwear and bring
along with him. 1t was with disap-
pointment akin to disgust that he found
the thermometer singing up toward the
nineties on his arrival, and saw the men
going about the streets in their shirt
sleeves, and very thin shirts at that.

1t has been suggested that the next
time we build an ice palace it ought to
be packed in sawdust and preserved for
summer use. 1t would be a most re-
freshing novelty to have an ice palace
breeze playing through the city such
day as yesterday.

Queen VICTORIA sent a cable greeting
to her loyal subjects at Fargo the other
day. The next thing we expect to hear
of will be that the venerable ruler of
Britannia has taken up a tree claim i'll
Dakota.
The pricking of the wheat bubble has
done Chicago some good after all. 1t
has brought the city down from its
stilted altitude so as to enable it to see
that there is really some world outside
ot Chicago. A refreshing evidence of
this fact is found in the following para
graph from Wednesdays issue of the
Herald: "With Dakota raising 15,0O0,-
600 bushels of corn and 80, 900, 600 bushels
of wheat, and Minnesota using the
Mississippi river to turn the greatest
mills in the world, it is idle to treat the
Northwest as though it was barren
waste"
The only thing that CRAIG ToLIvER,
the noted Kentucky murderer and des-
peradO, was afraid of was the law. He
wisely concluded that the only way he
could secure himself against the laws
administration was to administer it HIM
self. So he announced himself a candi-
date for judge of the Rowan county
court, and, as it was worth a mans life
to vote against him, of course he was
elected. There has been a remarkable
era of peace in Rowan county since
Judge ToLIvER ascended the bench.
All the judges old enemies who were
not jailed the first day of his judicial
administration escaped the country,
and now there is nobody TO quarrel with
ToLIYER.

Gen. JOHN Pope says in the North
American Review that ''during our
civil war, the most tremendous cOnvul-
sion that is recorded in history, New
England produced neither q great sol
dier nor a statesman of commanding in
tiuence." Why is it that Pope deals
such hard blows at BLAINE and HAw-
LEY?
w. j. FLORENCE, the actor, proposes
a novel but sensible scheme for prOvid-
ing fund to support toperS. When
asked by the clerk of the board of alder
men of Louisville to make it public Mr..
FLORENCE writes: zone gallon of
whisky costs about So and contains about
SiXty-five fifteen-cent drinks. Now, if
you must drink make your wife the bar
keeper. When you are dry pay her Is
cents for drink, and when the gallon
of whisky is goue she will have, after
paying for it, S6.75 left, and every gallon
thereafter will yield the same profit.
This money should be put away, so that
when you have become an inebriate, un-
able to support yourself and are
stunned by all respectable people, your
wife will have money enough to keep
you until your time comes to fill a drunk
ards grave"

Gen. RosSER has declared for JOHN
SHERMAN. Putting ROsSER's SHERI-
DAN letter and SIIEEMAN's Springfield
speech together, it looks as if the plan
of the SHERMAN combination was to
wave the bloody shirt, on the principle
that the darkey set his coon trap $50 as
to catch 'em both comm and gOin'."
